Oh, it's so good to post again! Life is insane here as I'm sure it is for all of you guys too! (fun insane of course). Finally getting a chance to review the petite moody leaves ruffle shell like I promised. This poor little neglected blouse arrived over two weeks ago and I just pulled it out of the plastic today!

I love the color of this blouse, the fit is good and the ruffles down the front adds lots of visual interest. I wouldn't mind it 1/2 inch shorter but the length isn't bad at all.

Btw, did you guys notice that I'm wearing the Ladie Open Toe Suede Booties from the Loft? Sadly, they didn't have them in 5 1/2 anymore and I think these look just the tiniest bit too big. The strap across the front keeps them from slipping though and they're quite comfortable.

Here's an extra outfit pic. I was running out the door yesterday but took a couple of seconds to snap a picture. You guys are aware of my penchant to layer dresses and skirts, so that's what I did here for added warmth ;)
I hope all of you are getting to spend lots of time with friends and family!!

I love the color of the first blouse! I bought something similar recently and was planning on wearing it dressier items, but now I have ideas on how to dress it down :) Love the laid-back feel with baggier jeans. You can try adding footpetals to the shoes to make them more snug?

You are the queen of layering dresses :) The second outfit is the perfect holiday outfit.

the blouse is really pretty on you. i am afraid of that bright color, but you pull it off so well. you are the master of mixing colors and patterns! the second outfit is really chic. if you didn't mention it, i didn't even realized you layered something underneath. i need to do that under my dress since it's getting pretty cold here in sf!

Callandra, I love the way you do your hair in the first outfit pictures. So cute. The shell looks very cute on you. I also bought the same cardi over the weekend for only $15ish. Love it.

If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed the layering of the two dresses. First thought that came into my mind, "How on earth did she pull that off?" I know you did a dress over a pencil skirt before. This summer sleeveless dress over a long-sleeve sweater dress is just utterly genius. Hats off to you! Have to try it at home. LOL.

Still obsessed over the perfect shirt lengths aren't you Callandra? You must explain more on this. I can't see how 1/2 an inch shorter on this shirt would make a big difference. I think it looks lovely.

Both outifits are cute! And layering a dress over a skirt? Genius!! ; ) I must try and remember that.... Love the gray suede shoes! I almost got those myself - you'll have to remember and let us know how comfortable they are with extended wear.

I think the first top looks a lot more ruffly on you that it does on the model. I also bought the same cardigan in the pink/purple color... for a really good price hehe. Hopefully will find time to take pics and share my LOFT haul soon! :)

Aubrey, You caught me ;) Yes, still obsessing over shirt lengths and I'll explain my madness. I like my legs to look long which in turn makes me look taller and slimmer (everybody wants that)hee So, if my top ends at 1/3 of my body length and my pants cover 2/3 body length, everyone assumes that I am taller than I actually am! It's a brillant trick I learned from watching countless what not to wear episodes! Lol

About Me

Having recently become aware and inspired by petite (and non-petite) fashion blogs, I have decided to join the online creative fashionistas. I already record and take pictures of my favorite outfits each morning before work and thought I might as well post them for fun. I am very short, just 5'1" and weigh 98lb. My measurements are curvy at 32" 24" 34-1/2" so hopefully this blog will help contribute to the shape variety of the online petite community.
